They play in the BIG MAC conference?
They are not allowed to play in the post season?
-or-
All of the above

They are ranked 9th in the country and most likely would be higher if they mattered. If they beat Michigan and won the Big 10 conference they would most likely be ranked in the top 5.

It means nothing because once they beat Michigan the season ends and I can't enjoy my seasonal bowl game. I means nothing because we have one of the best coaches and best qb's in the nation and I can't watch them beat on an SEC team (which they will do next year in whatever bowl they are part of... I will happily guarantee that).

The Big 10 sucks. I get that. But until you lose you should get a chance to see how far you can go. I am just whining....

I am just messing with you...tOSU is legit. Too bad they did not play anyone that mattered for their out of conference games. When they play Penn St will be called the Sactioned Bowl?

It also means you don't have to loose another friendly bet in the bowl season.

hinky: in the AP Poll tosu is ranked #6 after 'Bama & Georgia, but in the BCS the first Big10/11/12/#? is #21 Michigan

This is a dreaded triple posting

I think Ohio State could beat ND. We would get killed by K-State and Oregon.... and Alabama. So I think we are probably ranked pretty fairly at 6. We win games. Not pretty, but they are wins. I miss Bear when we start getting ready for the yearly showdown between my Buckeyes and the school up north.

USC is finally starting to play some decent football but Lane Kiffin is proving he is not up to the task of coaching a national power yet. With that said I think he takes care of business in 2 weeks and ND falls to the Boys of Troy.

Oregon is playing with almost an entire freshman d-line...which could allow for USC to get revenge on Puddle's mighty ducks of Eugene in the PAC 12 championship game.

Both those teams seem kind of out of place in that conference. I can understand Rutgers leaving the Big East but Maryland seemed right at home in the ACC. Now I wouldn't be surprised to see Clemson and FSU jump ship then if Maryland gets out without paying an obscene amount of money.

The Big 10 TV contract comes up soon and having teams in the Washington DC (#9) Baltimore (#26) and New York City (#1) TV makes perfect sense from a $$$ standpoint.

I love the idea...the closer to 4 super conferences the closer to a real play off where the champions of each conference play to determine the best team in college football.

Could Florida play Georgia in the BCS Championship game?!?!?!?!?!? REMATCH!

God I hope not. That would be a terrible game. With Oregon losing, we all lost a great championship game opportunity. Not sure if Florida or Georgia deserve to play for the NC. KState surely doesn't. I would pick A&M over Bama.

My hope is that if we HAVE to have an SEC team (which it seems like we do), that Georgia makes it because I am pretty confident they would lose to ND. Go every conference but the SEC
